“Solaima was so fabulous!! She was great at keeping me updated while I was on vacation, and my dog and cat loved her!! She went above and beyond for the animals and communication! I would recommend her to anyone❤️❤️”
“Emily was wonderful when I was out on a vacation!! My automatic litter box kept getting stuck when I was abroad and she was patient with the device the whole time. She even checked the home for any accidents from my cat and was reliable with her check-ins. This was also a last-minute booking and she squeezed it in her schedule. Highly recommend thank you again so much!”
“Svetlana took wonderful care of Cosmo, our cat, giving him all the love, cuddles, and attention he needed while we were away. He’s usually quite shy around new people, but he warmed up to her very quickly. We received consistent updates and photos the entire time, which gave us such peace of mind. We’re incredibly grateful and highly recommend her!”

“Katie is so sweet and got back to me right away. She came for an initial visit to meet my cats, and it was very easy to communicate with her! She is reliable and I felt so happy to know that my cats were in good hands while I was out of town 🐈🐈⬛”
“Our cats are not the easiest, nor the friendliest of guys and they really loved their visits from Steve whilst we were away. Kept us up to date with their eating and litter box habits as well. They will definitely be our go to when we're next away!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’m very attentive, patient, and caring, and I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care when needed. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and do my best to accommodate different times throughout the week. I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll pay attention to feeding instructions, water, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, medications if needed, and any special notes
“Emily is amazing and truly loved pups. I truly felt so safe having her there and in our home! I’m definitely excited to work with her in the future and I’m super grateful for her.”
“Liz is great! So communicative and thorough in how to take care of the pups. During the visit, numerous updates were provided and was super detailed about how everything went. Would definitely recommend her :)”
“Amanda took excellent care of our two cats! She communicated and provided updates. We had an issue with our key copy and she was very patient and flexible while we got it resolved. I really recommend Amanda!”
“Annaliese has been petsitting my 2 cats for a few months now and it gives me such peace of mind to have someone who takes such good care of them! She is so thoughtful and on point and takes amazing pictures of my cats. I can tell she really cares about them and they love her.”
About: Growing up I’ve cared for many types of animals, from dogs and cats to turtles and lizards. My love for animals is shown through how I will treat and care for your pets. School and work has kept me busy from pet-care, but I’m excited to jump back in. Rover offers the perfect opportunity for us to save for our wedding and still do something special that doesn’t feel like work. I currently work part-time from late afternoon to nighttime, so I have plenty of free time during the day when you might be busiest to watch and care for your pet(s)! I follow pet care instructions based on the clients’ preferences and needs. I will only implement the care instructions provided to me by my clients.
“Was able to come a check in on my baby last minute before the storm! I got stuck out of the country and was not going to be home when I thought and she made sure he was okay. Thank you so much. A life saver!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - East Boston
Adam is incredible! So respectful and attentive, Adam took the time to come out and visit Benji before we left to check that Benji was comfortable with him (and vice versa) to give Benji the best care. He sent lots of photos and kept in touch with us the entire time, I would highly recommend Adam and will be re-booking him our next trip away! Thank you Adam!
Erin took wonderful care of our cat while we were away. It was clear from the updates that she was genuinely thoughtful and attentive, and we always felt like Mapo was in great hands. Erin was incredibly responsive, communicative, and caring throughout the entire stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!!
I highly recommend Karina as a cat sitter! She took wonderful care of our cats while we were away and kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. Our cats were happy, well cared for, and comfortable when we returned. She is reliable, kind, and clearly loves cats. She also paid attention to all the little details and gave our cats lots of love, care, and extra attention. I would definitely book her again! Thanks again Karina for everything!
Courtney has been fantastic. My cat needs daily medication and is not always cool with strangers, but Courtesy drops in at the same time each day and spends some quality time with my spoiled cat. Based on the pictures, I think my cat actually enjoys the visits, which has given me great peace of mind while away.
Jenna was absolutely wonderful!! We had our cats separate because of some new onset behavioral issues and were hesitant to leave them, and she handled everything better than we could have asked for, on top of that with a positive attitude at all times. She was communicative when she had questions and very thoughtful and intentional, and left hilarious daily updates and pics. By the end of the week I stopped worrying about the cats because I knew they were in great hands. Jenna is very respectful and responsible and I would trust her to handle anything. She left our spaces clean, followed any instructions well, and went above and beyond to clean up after our cats even outside of the norm (one threw up one day and she cleaned it without hesitation). It was clear our cats warmed up to her quickly. We can only hope she’s available the next time we go out of town!!
Having someone experienced with giving cats inhalers was the most important thing, and Liz handled it perfectly. This was by far the easiest time leaving the cats alone for me: I trusted Liz completely. Super caring and devoted to making sure our cats had the best time.
Nicole was so wonderful with my cat, who is on the delicate side and doesn’t warm up to strangers easily. She followed his daily routine closely and was punctual with every visit, which made all the difference for a cat who relies on his consistency. Her communication was lovely throughout - timely daily updates, quick replies to my messages, and such genuine attentiveness to his needs. I came home to a calm, happy cat, which says it all. Thank you, Nicole - highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in East Boston on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,766 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across East Boston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Boston. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
